config_version 1.2############################ SNAPSHOT ROOT DIRECTORY ############################# All snapshots will be stored under this root directory.#
snapshot_root /mnt/backup/.snapshots/# If no_create_root is enabled, rsnapshot will not automatically create the# snapshot_root directory. This is particularly useful if you are backing# up to removable media, such as a FireWire or USB drive.##no_create_root 1################################## EXTERNAL PROGRAM DEPENDENCIES ################################### LINUX USERS: Be sure to uncomment "cmd_cp". This gives you extra features.# EVERYONE ELSE: Leave "cmd_cp" commented out for compatibility.## See the README file or the man page for more details.#
cmd_cp /bin/cp# uncomment this to use the rm program instead of the built-in perl routine.#
cmd_rm /bin/rm# rsync must be enabled for anything to work. This is the only command that# must be enabled.#
cmd_rsync /usr/bin/rsync
# Uncomment this to enable remote ssh backups over rsync.#
cmd_ssh /usr/bin/ssh# Comment this out to disable syslog support.#
cmd_logger /usr/bin/logger
# Uncomment this to specify the path to "du" for disk usage checks.# If you have an older version of "du", you may also want to check the# "du_args" parameter below.#
cmd_du /usr/bin/du# Uncomment this to specify the path to rsnapshot-diff.#

verbose 2# Same as "verbose" above, but controls the amount of data sent to the# logfile, if one is being used. The default is 3.#
loglevel 3# If you enable this, data will be written to the file you specify. The# amount of data written is controlled by the "loglevel" parameter.#
logfile /var/log/rsnapshot
# If enabled, rsnapshot will write a lockfile to prevent two instances# from running simultaneously (and messing up the snapshot_root).# If you enable this, make sure the lockfile directory is not world# writable. Otherwise anyone can prevent the program from running.#lockfile/var/run/rsnapshot.pid

The default is 0 (off).##sync_first 0# If enabled, rsnapshot will move the oldest directory for each interval# to [interval_name].delete, then it will remove the lockfile and delete# that directory just before it exits. The default is 0 (off).##use_lazy_deletes 0# Number of rsync re-tries. If you experience any network problems or# network card issues that tend to cause ssh to crap-out with# "Corrupted MAC on input" errors, for example, set this to a non-zero# value to have the rsync operation re-tried##rsync_numtries 0################################## BACKUP POINTS / SCRIPTS ################################### LOCALHOST
